@poohbear_NC - the addition of the whispernet wireless download was THE gamechanger for Kindle. That it took folks so long to realize instant download of books regardless of location was what was needed is pretty amazing if you think about it. Amazon used Apple as their model here with iTunes, and really the Kindle is like the iPhone, but more of an info appliance. Its the seamless hardware/online storefront/mobile broadband that makes it work.
